When going through a home renovation, there are expectations of both the Colorado remodeling contractor and the homeowner. Often times, the homeowners instincts can negatively affect the progress of the project. So how do you know if you're helping or hurting your Boulder, CO home remodeling project? Be sure to avoid the following when remodeling your home:

1. Delaying Decision Making.

If you want everything to run smoothly, you need to make decisions in a timely manner, typically in advance of the work being started. Most of the issues during a remodeling project come from the homeowner delaying decisions about paint, trim and faucet selections. While these may seem like small decisions to a homeowner, think about everyone involved on the project. When your faucet isn't ready, the plumber has to reschedule. Try to make your decisions as quickly as possible to ensure your Colorado home remodel is completed on schedule.

2. Continuously Changing Your Mind.

While some changes are inevitable, it's important that you don't change your mind too often during a remodeling project. Every time you change your mind, there will be added time and possibly added costs. Scheduling can be affected as well because everyone working on the job needs to be informed of the change and their duties involved. When making changes, even minor ones, just be aware of the potential delays involved. Avoid continuously changing your mind and your project can remain on schedule.

3. Having No Contingency Fund.

In the majority of home renovation projects, you're going to find that the work you wanted costs more than you expected or budgeted for. This is why you should always have a contingency fund set aside. However, you don't want to dip into that fund the stretch your budget. By making decisions ahead of time and trying to stick as closely to your budget, you'll avoid eating up your entire contingency fund and will have that cash to cover anything unexpected that comes up.

4. Distracting the Contractors.

Think about it: every minute the Boulder, Colorado remodeling contractors are talking to you, they aren't working on your house.  Make sure the conversations you're having with them are pertinent to the remodeling project. If it's not impacting the job, you should avoid talking to them about it. In addition, you'll want to keep children and pets away from the construction site, not only for their safety, but so they're not distracting the contractors either.

Help your Colorado home remodeling company get the job done right and on time by avoiding the above situations. At Boulder Builders, our goal is to be on time and on budget with limited impact to your daily life during the remodeling project. For a free estimate on your next home remodeling project, give us a call at 303-317-7080.

When choosing a contractor for your home remodel in Boulder, Colorado, look for someone who possesses these qualities:

Experienced & Knowledgeable

A home remodeling project is a big undertaking and a large financial commitment. You want to make sure that whoever you hire has enough experience & knowledge in the industry to get the job done right.

Communicative & Transparent 

Communication between you and your contractor should be open and flowing. You should be aware of what's going on with the project throughout the entire process, and be able to provide feedback when needed. The goal is to be on time and on budget, with limited impact to your daily life during the remodeling project. In the event of a snag, delay or complication, it's important that your contractor communicate with you what's happening. It's also important that you communicate to the contractor if something isn't as you thought it would be.

Your bedroom should be a place you can go to relax. Whether you need more closet and storage space to get rid of the clutter or you want to change the entire look and feel of the master suite, our remodeling contractors in Boulder, CO are here to help! Keep reading for several remodeling tips to consider.

1. Expand Your Closet Space. 

One of the most common master bedroom remodeling projects includes more closet space. It seems like you can never have enough closet space, whether it's to fit all your clothes and shoes or to store items you rarely use. In addition, if you are planning to sell your home, closet space is something buyers are going to consider. If you have a small closet, it's time to consider upgrading to a nice big walk-in closet, with plenty of room for both his and hers.

2. Incorporate a Large En-Suite Bathroom. 

If your master bedroom doesn't offer an en-suite bathroom, add that to your bedroom remodeling list. Having the bedroom connected to the bathroom not only makes it easier to access, but also ads to the retreat feel of the suite. You don't have to leave that sanctuary and walk through the rest of the house to go take a relaxing bath or nice steamy shower. Many people still get excited about large, deep tubs, but others are gravitating towards nice, large tile showers. Whatever your desire for your bathroom, Boulder Builders can help you create a spa like setting in your master suite.

3. Allow for the Perfect Lighting. 

When it comes to lighting, you want the perfect amount in your bedroom. You don't want it to be too bright because you want a relaxing place where you can actually get some sleep. However, you don't want it to be too dark either, especially if you like to read before bed. Consider both natural light and bedside lamps. If your master suite doesn't have any windows, you should consider adding some. Sunlight is a great way to achieve the lighting you want, and you can add curtains over them to both control the light and add to the decor. Bedside lamps are perfect for that late night reading or if you need to get up in the middle of the night.

4. Install the Right Flooring. 

The type of flooring for your master suite is dependent upon how you want the room to look and feel. Some people want that soft squishy feeling of carpet under their feet, while others prefer beautiful hardwood floors with maybe an area rug. The en-suite bathroom should have either the hardwood look or a nice tile; maybe consider heated flooring for those cold winter months. You'll also want to keep your budget in mind when choosing what flooring is right for your master suite remodeling project. 

Remodeling your master bedroom not only offers a sanctuary for your house, but can add value to your home. No matter what project you have in mind next, Boulder Builders is your trusted Boulder, Colorado home remodeling company. Give us a call at 303-317-7080 to get started today!

Remodeling has become very popular in this day and age. Often times, people can't find a home to buy that has everything they are looking for. In those cases, a Colorado remodeling project may be in order. Many times you outgrow your home or it just feels outdated. Today's blog focuses on a few of the most common reasons people choose to remodel their homes.

1. To Increase the Value of Your Home. 

If you're planning to sell your home in the near future, you might consider remodeling to increase the value of your home. Common remodeling projects that people take on when trying to sell their home include repainting, laying new carpet and updating the bathrooms. Curb appeal is another thing to think about. Don't just focus on the interior of the house. The first thing people see is the exterior, and if they don't like it, they may not care what the inside has to offer. All these remodeling projects will make the home look fresh and make it easier to sell your home when the time comes.

2. To Create More Space. 

When you first bought your house, it was just you and your husband. Fast forward a few years and you have a toddler, plus another baby on the way. Many people find themselves needing more space in their current home. While one option would be to sell the house and upgrade to a larger one, that's not often as easy as it sounds. This is where our Boulder remodeling company can help! We can renovate your home to create more space, either by opening up rooms or creating an addition if outside space allows. Maybe you have a basement that needs finished or an attic that could be turned into another room. 

3. To Increase Your Own Enjoyment of the Home. 

Everyone has different priorities of what they want their home to do. Was there an area of the home you had to compromise on when you bought the home? Maybe you enjoy cooking and want a bigger, more functional kitchen. Maybe your family is crazy about sports and you would enjoy having a home theater with big TVs and surround sound. Whatever it is that you enjoy doing, make sure your home fits those needs. Choose your next remodeling project based on your individual wants and needs.

Thinking about remodeling your home in the Boulder, CO area? Trust none other than Boulder Builders! Whether you're looking to increase curb appeal or create more space, we're here for all  your remodeling needs. Our goal is to make the impact to your life small and the benefits BIG.

When remodeling your home in Colorado, you have the ability to design the space however you wish. Maybe you don't like the functionality of the kitchen or maybe you want your bathroom to feel like more of an oasis. The variety of design ideas that you can find online are endless. Make the most of your space with these design tips from your Boulder, Colorado remodeling company:

1. Pamper Yourself.

Do you love taking long, luxurious bubble baths? Go with the whirlpool tub. If you don't have time for a bath, think about incorporating something you'll use everyday. Consider a luxury walk-in shower with dual massaging shower heads! Make sure your remodeling dollars are going to something you're going to be able to both use and enjoy.

2. Create More Room.

If you're looking for a remodeling project with a big impact, consider removing walls to create more open space. Eliminating hallways and other small awkward spaces is one way to get the most from your remodeling project and create a more livable space. This can also help make a small home feel larger.

3. Remove the Planning Desk.

Many kitchens include a "planning desk," but how many people actually use that area to sit and plan anything? Often times it's just wasted space in your kitchen, or it becomes the dump spot for everything that doesn't have a place yet. When remodeling your kitchen in Colorado, consider leaving out the planning desk and replacing it with something more useful. Maybe you could benefit from some extra cabinet space or a larger pantry area.

4. Separate Crammed Areas.

Trying to cram too much into a small space doesn't often work out the way you want. Each area should serve its own purpose. One mistake a lot of homeowners make is trying to squeeze the laundry room and mud room together. That tiny space between the garage and the rest of the house isn't an ideal place for effectively getting your laundry done. Consider creating a separate mudroom and laundry room, you'll thank us later!

5. Take Advantage of Unfinished Spaces. 

Do you have an attic that's filled with clutter or a basement that looks the same way? Take advantage of that unused space by de-cluttering and remodeling those unfinished spaces in your home. Have a garage sale or donate unwanted stuff to charity and get started renovating. You could turn the attic into an office or craft room. Use the basement to create a workout room or home theater area. The possibilities are endless!  

No matter what area of the home you're looking to remodel, Boulder Builders is here to help make your dreams a reality! Our goal is to make the impact to your life small and the benefits BIG. You can trust us for all your Boulder Colorado home remodeling needs! Give us a call at 303-317-7080 to discuss your needs and vision.

When you walk into or out of a room in your home, what's the first thing you do? Turn the lights on or off. How your home is lit plays an important role in your day-to-day living. Proper lighting helps with one's ability to see clearly, identify objects, prepare food, attend to personal grooming and more. All of our daily functions rely on the right type of lighting to make our tasks easier. More importantly though, studies have shown that our moods and emotions can be triggered by light. The intensity of light can have an impact on the intensity of our emotions. So why wouldn't you want to incorporate lighting in your Boulder, CO home remodel to better your daily living?


Whether you're planning a home remodel in Colorado to improve the lighting in just one room or update your entire home's lighting design, keep these lighting improvement tips in mind:

Living Room

Ambient lighting in a living room can be accomplished with soffit or valance lighting, recessed or track lighting that is directed toward the walls, or even with plug-in torchiere floor lamps with translucent upward facing globes. Implement task lighting by placing table lamps near a reading chair or game table. Accent lighting can be used to focus on an architectural element, such as a fireplace, bookcase or on a piece of art. Place up-facing lights on the floor as accent lighting for a plant, and track lighting to accent artwork.

Kitchen

Since the kitchen is where food preparation takes place, it's important to consider task and ambient lighting carefully for this room. Most of your work takes place on the counter space and over the sink. These areas are particularly important for proper task lighting. One of the main reasons sinks are often located beneath a window is to take advantage of natural light. Supplement the natural light with a fixture above the sink. Illuminate the countertops with under cabinet lighting in your next Colorado kitchen remodeling project.

Dining Room

The primary focus of dining room lighting is generally the table. Fixtures placed directly above the table can provide both ambient and task lighting for this room. Dimmers provide flexibility in establishing a relaxing atmosphere when entertaining, and therefore, are a desirable lighting feature for a dining room. Another consideration when lighting a dining room is the color of your walls. A darker color paint on the walls will reflect less light, so more lumens may be necessary to enhance your lighting.

Bathrooms

Traditionally, bathroom lighting consists of an overhead fixture, plus a fixture over the mirror. This standard design causes shadows to be cast when a person stands in front of the mirror. With an emphasis on personal grooming that requires looking in a mirror, one of the best improvements you can make in a bathroom is to light both sides of the mirror. If during your Colorado home remodel you have to choose between a wall-mounted fixture on the side of the mirror and an overhead fixture for a small bathroom, lighting designers recommend going with a wall-mounted placement.

Bedrooms

The bedroom is a room where a relaxing atmosphere is welcomed. Avoid central ceiling-mounted fixtures that might be perceived harshly when viewed from bed. For bedside reading or easily accessible lighting from bed, an adjustable wall-mounted light fixture or table lamp is recommended. Ambient lighting can be created by floor lamps, architectural lighting or recessed ceiling lighting.
When considering a the lighting for your remodel, it's important to think about how you really use a space. This will help you to identify whether you need task lighting, accent lighting, ambient lighting or a mixture of all three throughout your home.
